All, This should be fixed in 0.8.00, which has now been released. This is the first 0.8-series release, so expect issues and test it out on data you can afford to lose (if it comes to that).
I have now packaged up this version as a snap. You can install it by typing: snap install duplicity --classic --beta Please uninstall your current version of duplicity to ensure you are using the snap instead of one from apt etc. (This will work out of the box on nearly all versions of Ubuntu. If you use a different distro and have never installed snaps before, visit this page: https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snapd ) This includes the latest duplicity and all dependencies wrapped up in a self-contained bundle. You should not need to install anything else for this to work (including for all backends). If you do test this, it would be very helpful if you could please comment here, even if the only feedback is that all worked as expected. If you are giving any feedback, please also give the output of: which duplicity and snap list | grep duplicity and let me know which backends you used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to duplicity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770929 Title: Duplicity fails with UnicodeDecodeError in uexc function Status in Duplicity: Fix Released Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: backup worked under Ubuntu 17.10 It also worked on Ubuntu 18.4 before last week's update (run on Friday 11.5) my drive is encrypted this is the error message in the error frame Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1555, in <module> with_tempdir(main) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1541, in with_tempdir fn() File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1393, in main do_backup(action) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1523, in do_backup incremental_backup(sig_chain) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 668, in incremental_backup globals.backend) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 454, in write_multivol (tdp, dest_filename, vol_num))) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/asyncscheduler.py", line 146, in schedule_task return self.__run_synchronously(fn, params) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/asyncscheduler.py", line 172, in __run_synchronously ret = fn(*params) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 453, in <lambda> vol_num: put(tdp, dest_filename, vol_num), File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 342, in put backend.put(tdp, dest_filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/backend.py", line 395, in inner_retry % (n, e.__class__.__name__, util.uexc(e))) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/util.py", line 79, in uexc return ufn(unicode(e).encode('utf-8')) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 37: ordinal not in range(128) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: duplicity 0.7.17-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun May 13 09:55:00 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-01 (11 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) SourcePackage: duplicity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1770929/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
